Prolongation of mind is Indriya: As the sea cannot exist without the rivers because sea is fed by the rivers. Even so, mind is fed by Indriyas and cannot exist without Indriyas. Hence, if you have controlled the Indriyas, you have already controlled the mind. Indriya is another name for mind. We can say, “Indriyas are objectified desires”. Will to see is the eye. Will to hear is the ear. The Indriyas have two states, static and dynamic. When the desire begins to operate, the Indriyas are put in motion. This is the dynamic state. As soon as the desire is gratified, the Indriyas shrink through tripti (satisfaction). This is the static or passive state. Eyes can only see. Ears can only hear. Tongue can only taste. Skin can only touch. Nose can only smell. But, the mind can see, hear, taste, touch and smell. Mind is the common sensory. The five senses are blended there. It can directly see, hear, smell, taste and feel independent of the senses. It is an aggregate of the five senses. All the sense-faculties are blended in the mind. You can see and hear directly through the mind by Yogic practice (clairvoyance and clairaudience). This blows out the Western psychological theory of perception.
